Where To, Little Wombat?

Little Wombat decides one day that his burrow is too boring, so he sets off in search of the ideal home. But is it closer than he thinks? Another delightful story in the internationally acclaimed bestselling Little Wombat series.

Little Wombat is tired of living in his burrow, and so sets out to see what kind of homes his other friends live in. Koala, Frog, and Mole invite him to live with them, but wombats can't climb trees or walk on lily pads or live under rocks with the ants – none of these homes seem to be quite right for a little wombat! It's only once he gets back to his own burrow that Little Wombat realises there really is nowhere like it. There's even room to have a sleepover with all of his friends! A comforting story for little ones about how there’s no place like home.
